Admirál McRaven sloužil sedmatřicet let jako Navy SEAL a velel na všech úrovních. V hodnosti čtyřhvězdičkového admirála působil na závěr své vojenské kariéry jako velitel všech amerických speciálních jednotek. Autor je součástí americké vojenské historie a byl zapojen do nejznámějších misí v nedávné minulosti včetně zajetí Saddáma Husajna, záchrany kapitána Richarda Phillipse a přepadení a zabití Usámy bin Ládina. Kniha je nezapomenutelným ohlédnutím na skvělý život člověka od jeho dětství přes proniknutí do vysoce utajovaných vojenských míst až po každodenní pronásledování teroristů a zachraňování rukojmí. Nejsou to ani tak memoáry, jako série příběhů o důležitých událostech a misích. Každá kapitola se liší detaily konkrétní události nebo mise. Kapitola o záchraně kapitána Phillipse na otevřeném oceánu z rukou somálských pirátů je fascinující - žádná taková akce se nedá uskutečnit bez plánování, schopností a hrdinství. Nejdelší kapitola popisuje dlouhé a podrobné plánování přepadení Usámy bin Ládina. McRaven píše o mužích a ženách, kteří s pokorou a s opakovanou myšlenkou potřeby týmové spolupráce sloužili své vlasti na každé misi. Podmínkou splnění úkolu je společné úsilí všech zúčastněných.

A landmark selection of the works one of the greatest Greek writers of the twentieth centuryStripped of their ancestral lands and persecuted by other proud dynasties, the once illustrious Eumorphopoulos family have been brought low. But when their rivals begin to falter, two Eumorphopoulos brothers, Aristodemus and Dimitrakis, resolve to restore their line''s ancient glory. Yet they disagree about the best path forward: do they look to the ancient past - to long-lost language and culture - or to the ideology and technology of the present. . . The Archeologist, Andreas Karkavitsas'' masterpiece, is at once a powerful allegory for the questions facing Greek nationalism at the turn of the century, as well as a vision of Europe that, conceived on the precipice of the First World War, now resounds with tragedy.Also included in this edition are a selection of ''sea tales'' - folk stories told to Karakvitas by sailors, fishermen and sponge-divers during his travels in the Mediterranean. Staples of Greek literature, these four sea stories are considered some of Karakvitsas'' greatest achievements.

Somerset Maugham is the acknowledged master of the short story, and his full range is represented in this collection. In acclaimed stories such as ''Rain'', ''The Letter'', ''The Vessel of Wrath'' and ''The Alien Corn'', Maugham illustrates his wry perception of human weakness and his genius for evoking compelling drama and an acute sense of time and place.

Though W. Somerset Maugham was also famous for his novels and plays, it has been argued that in the short story he reached the pinnacle of his art and it was his true métier. These expertly told tales, with their addictive plot twists and vividly drawn characters, are both galvanizing as literature and wonderfully entertaining. In the adventures of his alter ego Ashenden, a writer who (like Maugham himself) turned secret agent in World War I, as well as in stories set in such far-flung locales as South Pacific islands and colonial outposts in Southeast Asia, Maugham brings his characters vividly to life, and their humanity is more convincing for the author''s merciless exposure of their flaws and failures. Whether the chasms of misunderstanding he plumbs are those between colonizers and natives, between a missionary and a prostitute, or between a poetry-writing woman and her uncomprehending husband, Maugham brilliantly displays his irony, his wit, and his genius in the art of storytelling.

The Number One best-selling, epic true-life story of one of the most notorious maritime disasters of the 19th century, beautifully reissued alongside Philbrick’s new paperback, Sea of Glory.The sinking of the whaleship Essex by an enraged spermwhale in the Pacific in November 1820 set in motion one of the most dramatic sea stories of all time: the twenty sailors who survived the wreck took to three small boats (one of which was again attacked by a whale) and only eight of them survived their subsequent 90-day ordeal, after resorting to cannibalising their mates.Three months after the Essex was broken up, the whaleship Dauphin, cruising off the coast of South America, spotted a small boat in the open ocean. As they pulled alongside they saw piles of bones in the bottom of the boat, at least two skeletons’ worth, with two survivors – almost skeletons themselves – sucking the marrow from the bones of their dead ship-mates.

The third volume of Somerset Maugham''s Collected Short Stories, introduced by the author, contains the celebrated series about Ashenden, a secret service agent in World War I. Based on Maugham''s own experiences with the British Intelligence service in Switzerland, the stories are vignettes in which he dramatises both the romance and absurdity of espionage as well as its ruthlessness and brutality. Accountable only to ''R'', Ashenden travels all over the Continent on assignments which entangle him with such characters as the traitor Grantley Caypor, the passionate Guilia Lazzari, and the sinister ''hairless Mexican''.
